Rest easy...the escaped inmate from last week has turned himself in...hopefully they won't put him back in the minimum-security facility in Redwood City this time...
Belmont is about to get some help tracking down tax scofflaws -- by using Notre Dame de Namur University students. Next up, Carlmont High students driving SamTrans buses...
What holiday week would be complete with idiots all over the road...Prior to Chistmas, not a newspaper or television station went without giving an update about how the police would be "out in force" cracking down on drunk drivers...but...
A drunk driver hit a San Mateo fire truck on Chistmas Day. At least they were close to help the man live...he brought the mountain to Muhammed, so to speak...and...
Three very lucky (and stupid) teenagers drove off the road on Highway 1 in Pacifica near Devil's Slide on Sunday and rolled 135 feet down a cliff. According to the story, it was a few rocks that held them up from falling into the ocean. They all lived...hence the luck...the driver appeared to be drunk/stoned...hence the stupid.
In other cheery holiday news, a home robbery near Half Moon Bay netted the thief guns (and Christmas presents...)
Our psychic friend in San Mateo lost her business, according to her landlord at the Laurelwood Shopping Center...to use the same joke again (and again) -- she should have seen this eviction coming...
Dungeness Crab season is usually such a happy time for the crab-loving Watch Dog...but this season is a big bummer for fishermen.
One of the big issues in Foster City is the 15-acre Mirabella project -- at least that's what all the folks in Foster City say. In a Environmental Impact report that will make NIMBYs smile, that development will add noise and traffic to the area. Duh.
Speaking of NIMBYs...the third-rail of County development is coming back again. The idea of developing a part of the unincorporated hillsides in San Mateo are back -- after two decades or so. Perhaps Unelected Supervisor Carol Groom will be a powerful voice for her former (and current) constituents on this?
